Took this picture of a Golden Eagle at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Mn. Golden Eagles come out of Canada in the winter and frequent the upland hills and valleys a few miles from the Mississippi in S.W. Wisc. and S.E. Mn. They are far less common than the Bald Eagle and hunt upland game like rabbits and turkey. It is very difficult to tell the difference between a Golden Eagle and an imature Bald Eagle.
